The main residence in Ye Hedong City is the so-called Baylor Mansion. In fact, the word "mansion" is not very suitable here. In terms of architectural specifications and the status of the owner, this house is far from being a first-class residence.
The word "fu".
The emergence of "fu" as a residential function was first recorded in "Zhou Li Tianguan Dazai": "The residence of hundreds of officials is called a mansion". The subsequent development will not be discussed in detail here, but by the Ming Dynasty, according to regulations
, it means "the feudal king calls his government, the officials call their house, and the common people call their home."
That being said, it is well known that the etiquette system will become looser and looser as we reach the later period of the dynasty. Therefore, by the Longwan period, many things have changed.
Some deliberately avoid the word "mansion" and use other honorifics. For example, Gao Jingshi's residence in Zhaohui Jinggongfang was previously called "Zhuangyuandi". This is to avoid it.
Some are purely due to changes in customs and disregard of regulations. For example, after Gao pragmatically became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the same old No. 1 Scholar's School began to be renamed "Shang Shu Gaofu" in a grand manner - using the word "Fu".
This is a new change brought about by the second surge in the status of civil servants during the Longqing period. I have never heard of any commander-in-chief who dared to call his residence "General Military Mansion" or "General Military Mansion" or even "Commander's Mansion".
However, the residences of several or more important state ministers such as the cabinet ministers and the seven ministers of the imperial court can now be called "mansion" by default, such as the Grand Scholar's Mansion, the Minister's Mansion, and the General Constitution Mansion - in terms of regulations
Still didn't say permission, but even if the emperor knew it, he wouldn't pursue it.
It’s not surprising to say that in the early Ming Dynasty, how many civil servants were able to wear a python robe? Let alone those who wore a sitting python robe. Nowadays, even sitting python robes are worn, so what’s the big deal in living in a “mansion”? Now the only thing
The only thing that can be strictly restricted is the "palace".
Yes, in the early years, only the residence of the vassal king was the official residence, but what was the status of the vassal king at that time, and what is the status of the vassal king today? To put it bluntly, except for Zhu Yixuan, the emperor's biological brother, who is the vassal king today?
Does the vassal king dare to be rude in front of Gao Pangshi? No, not one of them would.
What's more, in fact, even Zhu Yili probably didn't dare - because he could only receive profits from the feudal king's fiefdoms and could not directly manage them. The direct management power of these fiefdoms lies with the local yamen, while the top management power lies with the Ministry of Household Affairs, in the hands of Gao Pragmatic.
Because of this, when Cao Yan was about to walk into the gate of Nalinbulu's "Belle Mansion", he couldn't help but sneered when he looked at the plaque, stopped, and said to Nalinbulu and Bu Zhai who were walking beside him.
: "I have been an official for many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a desolate mansion."
Although Nalin Bulu and Bu Zhai were angry, they obviously did not dare to act wildly in front of Cao Yun. The landlord Nalin Bulu accompanied him with a smile and said: "This... this is just that we and other Yi people admire the Celestial Empire and have no other intentions."
Cao Yu snorted: "It's better not to have any." He said and walked in.
Nalinbulu and Buzhai looked at each other cautiously, each thankful that although Cao Yan was overbearing, he raised it high and put it down gently without going into details.
It is common for Ming army generals to be overbearing, not to mention the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaoyang who is responsible for the area east of the Liaohe River. Nalin Bulu and Bu Zhai were not surprised by this. Cao Yu just laughed at it and stopped pursuing it, which made them a little bit confused.
Unexpectedly, judging from the general situation, Cao Yu should have at least beaten or even threatened them at this time.
But Cao Yu didn't. Nalin Bulu and Bu Zhai always felt that something was wrong, but they didn't dare to delay at the moment, and followed them into "Baylor Mansion" with their own thoughts.
There is no doubt that Cao Yu will take the seat. Even if purely based on official positions, a number of Ming army generals have to sit closer to Cao Yu than Nalin Bulu and Bu Zhai. However, Cao Yu considered these two After all, Baylor was a landlord, so he moved their positions forward and sat in the position second only to Kaiyuan General Ma Chengxun, opposite to Shenyang guerrilla general Qi Jin.
Nalinbulu and Buzhai first expressed their gratitude to the Ming army for the arrival of the heavenly soldiers, and thanked all the generals present one by one, and then said: "Thanks to the might of the commander-in-chief Hu, the Tumen thieves fled without a fight. I, Tarum, The guards, young and old, have all been saved because of this, and their gratitude cannot be expressed in words. Now they must change their past mistakes and guard the border for the Celestial Empire."
Cao Yu didn't have much expression. He nodded and said calmly: "If you two ministers have such thoughts, I think this trip is worthwhile."
It turns out that the "official positions" of these two Yehe Beile in the Ming Dynasty were just to command the general affairs, which was lower than the status of other Jurchen tribes such as Hada and even Jianzhou.
Ye He is now actually the most powerful among the Jurchens. Why is his official position so low? Of course it is historical reasons.
After the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian nobles withdrew from the capital and returned to the grasslands. However, their political power was not lost. It only narrowed the scope of jurisdiction and still issued orders. It was called the Northern Yuan Dynasty in history. At that time, the Northern Yuan Dynasty still ruled the vast area of Haixi, and The Jurchens were still subjects of the Yuan Dynasty.
In July of the fourth year of Hongwu, the capital of Liao Dynasty was established. In October of the eighth year, the capital guard was changed to the Liaodong capital commander and envoy, commanding twenty-five guards and two prefectures. In the tenth year, all prefectures and counties were abolished, and the guard system was in the northeastern region. The basis of administrative divisions. From Ding Liao Duwei to Liaodong Du Commandery Division, the scope of its jurisdiction is only "to the Yalu River in the east, to Shanhaiguan in the west, to Lushunkou in the south, and to Kaiyuan in the north." And north of the Liao River, The Songhua River Basin, north and south of Heilongjiang were not yet within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. This vast area was still under the jurisdiction of the "Haixi Xuanwei Division" of the Yuan Dynasty.
In the 16th year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a surrender edict to Alu Hui, the old Yuan Dynasty "Haixi Youcheng" who was guarding this place, urging him to surrender. After Alu Hui surrendered, the Ming Dynasty's government decree Arrive in Haixi area.
The Yehe area in the early Ming Dynasty was basically an undeveloped desert land. However, after the orthodoxy, the Jurchen guards moved southward, and the Tarum guards moved around several times before entering this area.
In order to resist the resurgence of the Mongolian forces, after the surrender of Aluhui, they began to recruit the Jurchen tribe, set up extensive guard posts, issued imperial edicts to seals, and established the "Nuergan Dusi" to rule them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, the Haixi region implemented a different management system from the mainland. It was a subject of the Ming Dynasty but not within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It was a typical "one country, two systems" ”.
The Jurchen Naqibulu took advantage of this opportunity to establish the "Hulun Kingdom", which the Ming Dynasty neither recognized nor interfered with, thus forming a three-legged situation of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Hu Lun Kingdom.
The Ming Dynasty has always implemented its "restriction policy" with its own purpose: "To cover up the feud between the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, it wants the barbarians to attack themselves." The Ming Dynasty took advantage of the racial hatred of the Yuan Dynasty to destroy the Jin Dynasty and implemented a policy in the Northeast. A special system that used the Jurchens to shield the Northern Fan.
However, after the disintegration of the Hulun Kingdom, four parallel Jurchen kingdoms appeared on the Songliao land, known as the "Four Hulun Kingdoms" in history.
After the rise of these four Haixi Jurchen forces, the Ming Dynasty still strictly guarded the border wall. As long as they did not disturb the border, they were allowed to make their own names. Therefore, the Tatars, Wala, and Duoyan (Fuyu, Taining) in the north can all be listed
As a "foreign country", this is not the case for the "Four Hu Lun Tribes", who still treat each other as guards, and the Tonggong City is as usual. And the leaders of the "Four Hu Lun Tribes" also "have access to the Ming Dynasty, and they all treat each other as guards under their leadership"
, he ordered his subordinates to call him "Guo".
Since Ye He and other "Four Hu Lun Tribes" are not recognized, theoretically speaking, they should be regarded as military and political institutions within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The place where they are located is the administrative area of the Ming Dynasty, and the people they govern are also the Ming Dynasty.
's people.
However, this is not the case. Later, the territory of the Ming Dynasty listed in the "History and Geography of the Ming Dynasty" did not include the Haixi Jurchen region. A census was conducted in the sixth year of Wanli. There were a total of 10,621,436 households and 60,692,856 Dingkou (people with labor force and legal household registration) in the country.
Adult men), among which there are no Jurchens outside the border wall.
As a result, Ye He and other "Four Hu Lun Tribes" became a special area that was both affiliated with the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty and free from the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty regime.
During the Ming Dynasty, the title "Ye He" never officially appeared in official books, but was always recorded as "Tarumuwei" and paid tribute to it.
The Tarum Guard was first seen in the Ming Dynasty classics in the fourth year of Yongle. "Ming Shilu? Cheng Zu Shilu" contains the Gengyin article in February of the fourth year of Yongle: "The leader of the Jurchen savages, Da Ye, and other seventy people came to the court and ordered the Tarum guard to be built.
"Wait for the four guards, and use Daxu as the command". This is the beginning of the Tarum Guards' first appearance on the historical stage. However, the Tarum Guards officials at this time were not the same lineage as the later leader Yehe.
Regardless of whether they are Daye or Daye, they are not the ancestors of the Yehe tribe. Daye was passed down to Nile'a, then to Sahada, and thirdly to Narqi and Tongha. The Daye family ended here and disappeared after that.
Yu Shi.
Tong Ha took office in the 14th year of Chenghua. Basically at the same time, another Tarum Guards girl Zhen Er Ha You also appeared on the stage of history, but the word "assume" was not mentioned, indicating that he was not a
Leaf descendants or families.
Erha you are actually Qilhana, the ancestor of Ye He, who was later called Qilgani in Tatar and Qing historical records. Only two generations of Qilgani were mentioned above, but the name was found from Tatar and Qing historical records.
, the Ming people probably didn’t care about Ye He at all, so there is no record of this in the Ming Dynasty historical records. And these two generations are the ancestor Xinggen Darhan, the second generation Xierke Minggatu, and Qilgani is the third generation. This
The Yehe tribe had not yet been formed at that time, and they were all just leaders of the Tarum Guards.
According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the guard must oversee five thousand people. Qilgani is the commander, which shows that their unit has a large population and great power. However, the Jurchen Guards are different from the mainland guards. They have official positions but not
Salaries can only be obtained through the tribute market, and the other source of income is the meager rewards from the court.
Of course, this cannot solve the problem of survival and development of the Jurchen guards, and their own productivity... is almost negligible. Therefore, plunder and robbery are inevitable, and the relationship with the Ming Dynasty becomes more and more complicated. Naturally,
They will be severely suppressed by the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of Zhengde, "Suchangjia (i.e. Qilgani) used the method of subjugating the Han Dynasty, and the owl opened the original city" - he was disobedient and was beheaded in the city. So in the eighth year of Zhengde, "Haixi Yijiahacha, Zhu Kongge and others blocked
tribute".
This is normal, because his father Qilgani was killed by the Ming Dynasty. He wanted to avenge his father, so he joined forces with the leader of Feihewei, Jahcha, to block tribute. However, after all, the Yehe tribe could not defeat the Ming Dynasty, and in the end they had to surrender.
Therefore, in the eighth month of the eighth year of Zhengde's reign, the Ministry of War reported: "The Haixi Yi people Zhu Kongge and four other people were asked to pay tribute, and they often asked for promotion and were given seals and edicts. If they obeyed, they would show weakness, and if they did not obey, they would cause resentment.
The ministers and others met with the court officials and thought that the son of the father of Zhukong Ge, Ha Ni, should be commanded by the Tarum Guards. In order to be killed by the intruders, he was temporarily allowed to attack his father's position and ordered the governor of Liaodong to collect and store it.
If you are over 10 years old and do not disturb the border, you will be allowed to give it to me."
Okay, so the origin will be clearer. Here's the thing: Ye He's ancestors were not originally the heads of the "Ye He Kingdom (later called so)", one of the four Hu Lun tribes, but only important leaders of their country, that is,
The command of the Tarum Guards.
Although the ruling family of the "country" later disappeared, everyone knows the custom of the Ming Dynasty, which is very particular about the name. If you are not the leader of the country, I will not give you this command, even if the leader of the country is gone, I will not give it to you.
Therefore, Ye He's "Baylor (leader)"'s position in the Ming Dynasty so far is still only to command people.
In other words, they actually performed the commanding authority of the "Tarumu Guards" by commanding Qianshi, so of course they could not compare with Hada, Jianzhou, etc. in terms of "official status". So just now they were able to sit
Opposite Qi Jin, it was Cao Yu who treated them specially for the sake of their "landlord" status.
Facing Cao Yun's lukewarm words, Nalinbulu and Buzhai could only pretend they didn't see it. After all, on the one hand, there was a "disparity in status" and on the other hand, they still had others to ask for.
After all, Bu Zhai, who had lost his nest, was more anxious. He didn't care about the irreconcilable hatred for killing his father. He clasped his fists and said, "Commander, now Tumen are afraid of him like a tiger, and I, Xicheng, are still wreaking havoc on him.
After being plundered, all the people in my tribe are eagerly looking forward to returning to the Ming Dynasty. Why doesn’t the commander send out the heavenly troops early to help me recapture the West City, so that I can guard the border for the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! To be able to speak so straightforwardly, this Bu Zhai is indeed a barbarian. Cao Yu thought this, but his expression did not change at all. He glanced at him and said: "It's winter now."
During the march, although the heavenly soldiers are powerful, they still need to rest. I have always loved my soldiers as my own children, how can I be so unsympathetic and force them to continue fighting?"
Bu Zhai suddenly became anxious and said hurriedly: "Commander..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Nalinbulu, who was next to him, quickly grabbed him and caught up the conversation: "What the commander said is absolutely true. The heavenly soldiers came north to rescue me... Tarum Guards, it is indeed very hard, and the pommel horse is tired.
It’s okay to take a short rest.”
But this was obviously not his purpose, so he took a look at Cao Yu's face and saw that he was not angry. He lowered his voice and asked respectfully: "I just don't know how many days the commander-in-chief plans to rest? Ah, I don't have a humble job."
The other meaning is just to arrange supplies according to the commander-in-chief's plan, so as not to go wrong in the supply and neglect the commander-in-chief, the generals and the army under his command."
Seeing that he could speak, Cao Yu's face became much kinder, and he showed a slight smile and said: "I accept your kindness, but how long this rest will last, I have to wait for Tan Ma to report back on the situation in Xicheng before I can make a decision.
If Tumen plans to hold on to Xicheng, then we will have to wait for a few more days and make enough preparations before we can fight fiercely, don’t you think?"
Nalinbulu's smile froze, and he just managed to squeeze out a smile. Before he could speak, Bu Zhai couldn't help it anymore: "How can Tumen defend the West City? He has all cavalry under his command, how can he defend the city? I don't think so.
The commander has hundreds of huge cannons under his command. He pulls them under the city and blasts them randomly. If the men are afraid that it will be too late to run away, why should they defend themselves?"
Cao Yan's smile faded, his face darkened, and he said coldly: "Are you teaching me how to fight?"
